Chef's kiss
The culinary world is set to take over more than just the kitchen this spring and summer, with shoppers turning to foodie-inspired décor, gifts, clothing and more, from espresso martini candles to pasta-shaped jewelry.
Western 2.0
Iconic Western style is making a comeback across the country, with timeless elements like leather, suede and fringe taking center stage. To bring this aesthetic into their homes, shoppers are adding durable, distressed leather furniture to their spaces while also incorporating more contemporary pieces.
Sports Core
According to Etsy, cottagecore is gone and sportscore is on the rise, with an athletic aesthetic resonating with shoppers both inside and outside the home as sports-themed posters, prints and lawn games soar in popularity.
Garden Girl
If you're into gardening, the garden girl aesthetic will come naturally to you. Beyond floral prints, this fresh reinterpretation includes everything from ruffled bedding to botanical motifs. Shoppers are also looking for attractive gardening accessories, like lavender-print gardening gloves and woven harvest baskets.
Traditional textiles
According to Etsy, crochet, quilting and embroidered details are making a big comeback in home décor, signaling an increased demand for high-quality items that have a handmade feel. In addition to bringing these high-quality pieces into their homes, this trend is encouraging shoppers to get into DIY.
Romantic Com Interior
Nostalgia is currently sweeping home interiors, with shoppers leaning toward a cozy, familiar, and timeless decor style reminiscent of classic romantic comedies from the 1990s and early 2000s. Expect this trend to manifest itself in style-forward bookcases, a mix of patterns and prints, and homes that feel lived-in rather than perfectly curated.
Modern Milestones
People are increasingly celebrating loved ones' milestones with gifts. Whether a friend is getting married or recently getting a pet, Etsy experts are seeing a big shift in gift-giving culture as shoppers celebrate moments big and small.
Creative couple portrait
Have a friend who recently got engaged or is celebrating an anniversary? Get creative with a unique couples portrait. From illustrated portraits on porcelain plates to personalized playing cards, shoppers are straying from traditional wedding gift ideas in favor of something fresh and fun.
After party excitement
Couples are planning the post-wedding parties of their dreams, complete with neon signs, late-night snacks, disco decorations, and more. Brides are getting into these festive spirits with multiple outfit changes throughout the night.
